[quote sinergy]Ive been using it on my 7 weight for over a year now and no need to wear gloves.
Yes if you rip through your hands it will burn but even regular fly line with give you a small burn.
The only thing I dont like about Sharskin is a zipping noise but then again I don't like the clicking noises reels make so potato, patato.
If you can get Sharskin at a good price well worth it but in my book Rio Grand cast and floats better and not the hefty price tag.[/quote]
The reason Rio Grand casts so well is the same as the GPX. It is one half size larger.
I thought they were discontinuing Grand, but there is still a bunch out there.
I do like RIO lines, but I am at a stand still with that brand at the moment. I have the TypeVII line by rio. The outer sheeting separated from the inner core. Very visible defect. I sent it back to Rio three weeks ago and have not heard anything. I am presently out the cost of the line AND the line. Their ball park now and yes I registered the mail and I know they have it.[mad]
